Healthy Instant Pot Soup Recipes

Soup is such a simple, cozy meal, but who wants to stand over a hot stove? These healthy Instant Pot soup recipes will change your soup-making game!

The pressure cooker is perfect for soup-making, but not all soup recipes are healthy. Soups can be high in sodium or packed with meat and dairy. These plant-based, healthy Instant Pot†soup recipes put your pressure cooker to work for hands-off, quick meals.

I converted this stovetop soup from Eat Like You Give a Damn to a pressure cooker recipe. It’s a filling, protein-rich bowl of goodness.†Yellow split peas are the base for this recipe, and most grocery stores carry them. You can substitute green split peas, if you can’t find yellow.†The cooking instructions are exactly the same.

This veggie soup is sneakily protein-rich thanks to the power of teff! Teff is a very small grain that’s full of protein, fiber,†vitamins and minerals. This delicious, healthy Instant Pot soup takes around 20 minutes†to make.

You don’t even use the saute function to make this simple soup recipe. Just pile everything into the pot, set it to high pressure for 10 minutes, and do a natural release. When it’s done cooking, you puree part of the cooked soup to give it a thick, hearty texture.

This soup is another stovetop-to-Instant Pot conversion. I love recipes†that have directions for both, because you can get a good idea for both how much time you’re saving and how to convert other stovetop soup recipes to Instant Pot recipes.

This recipe is so delicious and super flexible! There are directions†for how to make this Chickpea and Rice Soup with either soaked or unsoaked chickpeas. The soup spends a long time in the†Instant Pot, but almost all of it is passive cooking time, meaning you can catch up on Girlboss while it’s cooking.
